As a preface to these grand Earth changes, the process of bringing the "lost continents" of Atlantis and Lemuria to the surface has already begun.

For example, the seismic activity around the mid-Atlantic ridge has increased, due to the intensified subluxation of the tectonic plates that form the Atlantic Ocean basin.

This sets the stage for the plate locking that will happen once Atlantis fully emerges from her former deep-ocean grave. In the Pacific Ocean basin, similar preparations are taking place.

But here, this activity is affecting the many island chains near and just below the Equator in the form of increased deep-ocean earthquakes.

This is stirring the many temperature layers of the Pacific Ocean and, in their wake, producing some unusual weather.

This rising hyperactivity is part of reforming the Lemurian continent and raising her to the surface.

As this event draws closer, watch out for a number of now-quiescent island volcanoes to start a more active cycle.
